The premise of a rights-based approach to ensuring adequate food is empowering poor people and those who are food insecure.

Nevertheless... in the event that people are unable to feed themselves (because of household shocks or other circumstances), the state must accept the responsibility to assist, whether through social safety nets or other programs and policies that protect vulnerable people from hunger. -- from Text
